A new version of the Ultimate Base Roster for NBA 2K14 PC by HAWK23 and company is available now! The latest release updates the current season rosters through the 2015 All-Star Weekend, adds some new faces to retro season mods, and much more. Key features of V29 are as follows:

Episode #110 of the NLSC Podcast is out now! Last week, Arcane and I made our predictions for the 2015 NBA All-Star Weekend, so this week, we’re following up on our picks and giving our thoughts on everything that went down. As always, we also cover the latest in basketball video gaming news.

NBA Live 15 received two roster updates over the past week, as well as a content update which included the All-Star court and jerseys, and over 100 bug fixes.

NBA 2K15 PC was Free to Play on Steam over the weekend, and available to buy at a 50% discount.

Some recent eBay purchases lead to another discussion about retro basketball gaming.

Amar’e Stoudemire will reportedly be bought out by the Knicks, and will likely sign with the Mavericks. We consider what kind of impact he might have.

As you may have expected, we didn’t do so well on our predictions for the 2015 NBA All-Star Weekend. Nevertheless, we give our thoughts on all of the events.

Do today’s players need a bit more of a competitive edge, or even somewhat of a dislike for each other?

Carmelo Anthony and the Knicks get burned by Not Bill Walton on Twitter, again.

Another roster update was pushed through for NBA Live 15 over the weekend, updating the All-Star line-ups with all of the injury replacements. It also adds James Harden and Klay Thompson to the starting line-up for the West, as per coach Steve Kerr’s announcement.

Additionally, the Mo Williams trade has now been included, bringing the NBA team rosters completely up to date. As usual, the players involved in the deal won’t be playable in Tip Off until they’ve played a game for their new teams, as Tip Off rosters are powered by the latest Synergy data.

Remember that you can post any feedback on the NBA Live 15 rosters here in our Forum.

I hope everyone is enjoying the 2015 NBA All-Star Weekend so far! We have a couple of All-Star updates in today’s file additions for NBA 2K14 PC, as well as some scoreboards, faces, and a few other releases. Please see below for all the download links!

This week’s new Legends in NBA Live 15 Ultimate Team are “The Human Highlight Film” Dominique Wilkins, “Dr J.” Julius Erving, and Darryl Dawkins, aka “Chocolate Thunder”. The trio of devastating and dynamic dunkers will be available in random packs beginning this weekend, and can currently be faced in a Fantasy Challenge.

JULIUS “DR. J” ERVING, PHILADELPHIA 76ERS F
Dr. J is one of the game’s all-time greats, known for his signature dunks. After starring in the ABA, he helped lead the Philadelphia 76ers to the 1983 NBA Championship.

Welcome to this week’s edition of The Friday Five! This is a feature that I post every Friday in which I give my thoughts on a topic that’s related to basketball video games, the real NBA or another area of interest to our community, either as a list of five items or in the form of a Top 5 countdown.

I was originally going to post my predictions for the 2015 All-Star Weekend in this week’s Friday Five, but Arcane and I ended up discussing our picks in Episode #109 of the NLSC Podcast. So, rather than repeat myself in written form, I’ll simply invite you to go back and listen to the show if you’re interested in my predictions, and talk about something else related to All-Star Weekend.

I’ve instead decided to list five memorable moments from All-Star Weekends gone by. It’s not a Top 5 countdown of the greatest or most well-known moments, nor a list of my absolute favourite moments, as those would probably all be Michael Jordan related. MJ does feature a couple of times in this list – you knew he would – but I’m also picking a couple of other moments that stand out in my memory, and not all of them are highlight plays. Without any further ado, here are five memorable All-Star Weekend moments, that you may or may not recall.

HAWK23 and company have released a new version (V28) of the Ultimate Base Roster for NBA 2K14 PC. The latest release includes a new part that you must download, so be sure to read the description carefully. Key features of V28 include:

A new roster and content update has been pushed through for NBA Live 15. In addition to the latest lineups and transactions, the new roster also includes the 2015 All-Star court and jerseys. At a glance, both are looking accurate.

As usual, several player ratings have been updated, as the latest roster includes over 3300 changes to 438 players. The Miami Heat’s Hassan Whiteside is one of the biggest movers in the latest roster, as his overall rating has jumped another three points following his impressive play in January. Check out this spreadsheet for a complete list of changes.

Finally, over 100 bug fixes have also been included in the latest update, though no further details are available at this time. If you’ve got any feedback on the rosters, feel free to post it in the comments below, as well as in this thread in the NBA Live 15 section of the Forum.

A couple of dedicated and talented folks are still creating great updates for NBA Live 2000 PC, and two new files have been added today: faces for Nick Young and Robert Sacre. If you’d like to fire up NBA Live 2000 and check them out, you can download them at the links below.

Tune in to Episode #109 of the NLSC Podcast for the latest basketball video game and NBA discussion! This week, Arcane and I talk Wishlists for NBA Live 16 and NBA 2K16, catch up on the week in NBA Live 15 and NBA 2K15 news, and make our predictions for the 2015 NBA All-Star Weekend.

Our official Wishlist thread for NBA Live 16 is now open, and the NBA 2K16 thread will soon follow. We discuss the benefits of Wishlists, and the best ways to provide feedback.

This week’s content updates include new Legends in NBA Live 15 Ultimate Team, and new uniforms and Black History Month shoes in NBA 2K15.

We admire TGsoGood’s custom NBA 2K14 PC trading cards, which were created using the Ultimate Base Roster.

As we reflect on our recent basketball gaming experiences, we discuss what it’s like to go back and play an older game, and why we sometimes take breaks from playing basketball games.

We successfully jinxed the Atlanta Hawks’ winning streak with last week’s show. This week, we try to jinx a potential NBA Finals match-up by talking about the Hawks and the Golden State Warriors.

Our discussion on the Hawks’ starting five being named Eastern Conference Player of the Month leads to us giving some opinions on possible changes to the All-Star rosters and Playoffs format.

Because we’re so good at them, we make our predictions for the 2015 NBA All-Star Weekend.

We end the show by revisiting the Hawks/Warriors discussion, and throw out some trivia regarding Aussies in the NBA.
